The Ohio Department of Education began the College Credit Plus program for all students enrolled in Ohio schools. College Credit Plus has two fundamental positions:

• Students (grades 7-12) must be an Ohio resident enrolled in a participating college of choice.
• Students can earn transcripted college and high school credit upon successful completion of the course.

Eligible students may need a qualifying college entrance exam score that places them in courses above a remediation level to participate.

If you have students who might be interested in earning college credit during their time in high school, plan on attending the meeting on November 18. Should you have questions prior to the meeting, contact the Student Services Office 419.238.2180 or Van Wert High School 419.238.3350.
